About this map

The Allegheny River snakes through the heart of this Venango County landscape in a series of dramatic, tight oxbow bends. Along its banks, the industrial legacy of the region is evident through extensive oil field developments and numerous wells scattered across the upland plateaus. The river is a primary corridor for both the Pennsylvania and New York Central railroads, which hug the shorelines and traverse the terrain via the Kennerdell Tunnel.

Small settlements such as Kennerdell, Coal City, and Victory Heights anchor the rural crossroads, often accompanied by local landmarks like Congress Hill Ch and Morrison Cem. To the northwest, the Chess-Lamberton Airport serves the higher ground near the Franklin Corp Boundary. The map meticulously details the tributary system feeding the main river, including Sandy Creek, Victory Run, and Scrubgrass Cr, which carve deep hollows into the surrounding hills.
